CSU-Pueblo to host MMA Event Sept. 11, Carwin to appear

PUEBLO, Colo. (GoThunderWolves.com –August 9, 2010) – The first ever mixed
martial arts event at CSU-Pueblo will take place on Saturday,
September 11 at Massari Arena, featuring a fight card
boasting an Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran and several
top Pueblo MMA fighters.

Colorado's own Shane Carwin, who is currently ranked as the
3rd best Heavyweight in the World, will be making a special
appearance for the Bring the Thunder MMA event, as well.

Cameron Dollar (UFC Vet) vs. Brett Roller: "We are very
excited to have these two guys on our card. They are two of the
most exciting fighters in the area and used to train together.
There is no love lost between the two. Since competing on the
Ultimate Fighter and losing his debut in the UFC, Cameron cut down
to 145 and is trying to establish himself as a top featherweight
and get signed by a bigger promotion. Brett Roller is one of the
toughest guys around. He was actually committed to wrestle for
CSU-Pueblo coming out of high school after pulling off the biggest
upset in Colorado wrestling history. He beat the 4 year undefeated
Tom Clum 11-10 in the state finals. The program was dropped soon
after his commitment and he chose to pursue MMA instead of
wrestling. Brett was originally slated to face Alvin Robinson
who pulled off the card due to signing with the Bellator Fighting
Championships. Brett didn't hesitate when the opportunity of
fighting Cameron came up. There is some bad blood between the two
that stems from a falling out when they used to train together and
Brett wants to settle it in the cage. Brett is one of those guys
that will fight anyone, anytime, anyplace. This fight is going to
be fireworks."

Eliot Marshall (UFC Vet) vs. Adriano Camolese (Jiu-Jitsu Black
belt, sparring partner for Anderson Silva): "If you ask any
fighter how important this fight is to your career, they will tell
you that every fight they have is the most important fight. This
statement couldn't be more true for Eliot Marshall. Eliot is going
to fight Josh Haynes on the Ring of Fire Aug. 28th and turn around
2 weeks later and take on a very tough Adriano Camolese. Two back
to back wins for Eliot will certainly get him back where he wants
to be, the UFC. Eliot had a great start to his UFC career where he
went 3-0 before losing a close split decision to Vladimir
Matuchenko. Eliot is more motivated now than ever to prove to the
UFC why he deserves to be there. Adriano Camolese is no slouch. He
is 4-0 and carries a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu. He is one of Anderson
Silva's sparring partners so he knows what it is like to be in the
cage with top level fighters. Being that both of these guys hold
Black Belts in Jiu-Jitsu I am very excited to see how this fight
transpires."
